WW Clubs and Groups - What Day Is It? (I Think It's Friday)

Whoa, what a long week it's been. Although it's technically Friday now, it's only Thursday for me. Tonight will be the beginning of my Friday. Does that make even one iota of sense?? It's 5:11 AM, I've been up all night (with not much sleep today) and I'm beat...

Guys, (I sound like I'm bragging, but I'm proud of myself) I can't believe how great my eating has been during this night shift business. Usually I can't get the whole eating thing right when I work nights, but it seems to be A-OK. I've jumped on the scale here and it's not looking good, but I have no idea how high/low it is, so I'm not putting much stock into what it reads. Plus, I'm wearing jeans, work boots, a pager, a belt, etc. Usually I don't have all that crap on when I weigh.

Becki--I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's hard when a person's health is failing... On the opposite end of the spectrum, you sound like you're going to be a naughty little sex kitten. Meow!!

Lori--Which Firm tapes do you have? I absolutely love CardioSculpt, but it's a little too hard on my weak knees so I haven't been doing it much lately. I kind of want to get the weight off before I strain my knees so much. That's great that it's making you feel so good. A good, sweaty workout like the ones in The Firm videos are SO energizing, even though you'd expect them to totally wipe you out.

Hey guys, where have Laura, Lisa, Jen(s) and Jayne been? I hate when we don't hear from them. :(

Belle--That's cool that Avril Lavigne was doing a free concert. And even cooler that you didn't get stuck in that traffic. :lol:

OK, kiddos. I'm gonna get scooting before the day crew comes in and catches me screwing around. See ya!! :wave:

Jess- woo hoo on you eating. YOu are SUPPOSED to blow your own horn here, so don't feel bad!!

Well it's time to face the fact that I have a sinus infection. I have all the "telltale" signs (won't gross you out with details). But I have no time to get to a doc, so I might end up doing a walk in clinic on the weekend....booh!!!!

Tonight is date night with my niece. I am taking her to "where the wild things are" yup, its that book with Max! Remember? then we are going for cheescake (her favorite). I think Auntie will be having fruit and yougurt dip.... :) I can't blow it this week!! I"ve come too far this week to blow it now.

Yesterday I ended up eating a peice of toast (2points) and butter(1-2points) so I went into my flexpoints. I didn't want to, but I was truly hungry and more veggies didnt' cut themustard...oh well, four won't kill me.

Must get back to work. It's another stupidly busy day!!

Adios amigas!! BBL

Hey all,

It's my compressed day so I have the day off (I worked the hours already).

Anyhoo, I am doing allright. I just went for a jog and my parents are coming up today.

My eating has been good all week and so has the exercise (I did a 50 min run on Monday, a step and body pump <weight training> classed on tuesday, I walked 45 mins on Wednesday, did the step and body pump classes on thursday and ran 50 mins today so yah me:)).

Today the eating won't be perfect but that's okay.

Becky: Sorry to hear about your gran

Jess: Good for you for trying to break out of those eating habits I work. I have been trying to break my bad ones and incorporate the good ones. I find planning snacks and bringing them to work makes things easier.

Belle: if you were that hungry then don't worry about it, you probably need the cals, plus bread and butter are not the worst things to snack on. The fat from the butter and the fibre in the toast probably quenched that hunger.

Anyhoo, take care!

Hey gals!

Jess - That is great that you are doing so well! I do the new Firm tapes. The "Frim II" system. I did the "Mximum Cardio Burn" yesterday. How long are you on nights before you switch back to days? Do you switch back?

Belle - I wouldn't worry about the toast. Sounds like you needed it and at least you didn't go grabbing for more after that!

Ali - I wish I could jog. My asthma prevents that. I can only powerwalk. I really want to be able to jog so that I can go further distances and not just walk by the same stuff on the same roads all the time. When it gets warmer, I'll start walking on the beach at night. Hubby and I did that about 3 times/week last summer and I really enjoyed it.

Well so far today has been good eating-wise. I am leaving work at 2 today so I can exercise before I go up to Boston tonight. I'm going to the Symphony with my mom, MIL, Brother, his girlfriend, and another friend of mine from college. DH isn't coming. He's not really the classical music type...besides he would just sit there not having fun, and then I wouldn't enjoy myself. That's the same reason FIL isn't coming :)

Before the Symphony we are all meeting for dinner, so I hope I am able to do well with that. I chose a place that said they have salads. But they have wood-fired pizza and pasta too! The choices! haha.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi gang!! Bit of a crazy morning but I wanted to stop by and let you know I'm here and thinking about you all!! I'm going for a long walk tomorrow morning. I set up my car to go in for her first ever oil change and then I'm going to walk to my WI and back. It should be a good one and no way for me to avoid it cause I won't have the option of taking my car. I'm very happy about it. And I have a walking buddy at work so now that the ankle is doing better, I'll be able to start walking at work on my lunches again. And on the crappy health in the family front...my cousin just went on the list for a liver transplant - I didn't even know he had liver problems!! He's in his late thirties and apparently they told him when he was 17 that it was a possibility so he's glad he got through without for such a long time and is still strong enough to wait on the list for a while (they say 2 to 6 years to wait unless his condition worsens - isn't that crazy!?!) OK - back to scariness at work - sorry I can't reply to everyone...
